I don't believe for a second that it's true, but the possibility that it is amuses me.

One of the things that contributed to the downfall of USENET was when people worked out how to post binary files, encoded as multi-part blocks of ASCII text. It still has piracy problems but you can just ignore that stuff.

Ignore all the software pirates over there. Yes, sir, the ones sitting at the free bar full of top shelf liquor with strippers on each side. Yup, better not go over there.

Tomorrow, they can still keep posting "no".

The most generous interpretation I've got is that he doesn't know what concubine means.

This is the same language where you have to say PLEASE sometimes or it won't compile. But if you say PLEASE too much, the compiler will think you're pandering and also refuse to compile. The range between too polite and not polite enough is not specified and varies by implementation.

There is no evidence Trump had her killed. That just means they covered it up, so the lack of evidence is itself evidence.

I've used the same logic that the DOJ used, in court, to say the people they deported were dangerous criminal terrorists: https://bsky.app/...

I also hate the way "algorithm" has taken over the public consciousness. You can find people unironically saying "I don't want any algorithm in my social media feed", which is a nonsensical statement.

It's amazing watching a platform with no substantial competitor kill itself so badly. AltaVista was killed by Google, MySpace was killed by Facebook, Twitter is killed by the ramblings of the lunatic who bought it.

My city got rid of lead pipes decades ago, and now I'm mad other cities are getting free money to replace them.

A survival crafting game where the tech tree goes backwards. You start in a prepper hole with working water filtration, food sources, etc, and everything is nice. Then something breaks and maybe you fix it. Something else breaks and maybe you fix that. Three things break at once, and at least one of them is going to stay broken. Have to do something more primative and time consuming.

Eventually, enough things break that it's no longer sustainable and you die. Game ranks you based on how long you last.

I've said before that the supercharger network is their most important long term asset. They opened up their plug standard, other manufacturers are jumping on board, and they have the largest network that supports all those new EVs.

Only problem is that it's boring, and Elon doesn't like boring. So now here we are.

And I am on the National Shitposting Council that oversees Lemmy.

The "problem" with that tax is that if it's applied fairly, it gets very big very fast. The damage to the road goes up with weight, but not linearly. Not a square factor, either. Not even cube. It's to the fourth power.

Start applying that to long haul trucks and the whole industry will be bankrupt in a month. The implication being that we are all subsidizing that industry with taxes on roads. Including that one trucker with a "who is John Galt?" sticker on the back.

That said, this is also a very good argument for improving cargo trains to the point where most long haul trucking goes away.

I won't defend Hefner, but the articles genuinely were (and are) as far to the left as you'll see in any widely circulated publication. Being associated with porn gave them cover to write whatever they wanted.

The Large Hadron Collider and the International Space Stations are amazing wonders. It used to be that humanity's most expensive projects were religious temples. Now it's machines for scientific research. Some people apparently have a problem with this, and they're generally not the sort of people I like to be around.

Which means HIV is spreading undiagnosed throughout that detention center.

This is one of those headlines that's more obscuring than enlightening. We knew a bunch of ways that you could arrange three gravitational bodies and have them be in a stable orbit around each other. This adds 12,000 more. However, a general solution is still incredibly complicated, and the Trisolarans would still like to have a little chat with us in Australia some time.
